A Grade II listed detached thatched cottage with four bedrooms and distinctive character, set in the desirable and idyllic village of Collingham.

Description

Thatched Cottage is a Grade II listed cottage dating from the early 19th century. Its part-thatched, pyramidal roof, rendered elevations and retained original details create a strong sense of character, complemented by high-specification modern décor and fittings throughout.

The accommodation is arranged on a single accessible level and includes three well-appointed reception rooms, along with four double bedrooms. The principal reception space is the family room, featuring tiled flooring and a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber eaves, while natural light floods in through a triple aspect, including French doors opening on to the south-facing front gardens. This generous family room also offers potential to be adapted for multigenerational living (subject to any necessary consents). There is also an elegant dining room with a tiled cast-iron fireplace and French doors, while the snug provides additional relaxed living space with a corner woodburning stove.

Adjoining the snug, the well-equipped kitchen features shaker-style units, wooden worktops, a breakfast bar and integrated appliances, including dual ovens and a five-ring gas hob with extractor hood. A useful utility room offers further storage and space for laundry appliances.

The four bedrooms are situated in the eastern wing and showcase arched leaded windows. All are doubles, with one currently arranged as a home gym. The family bathroom is accessed and includes an over-bath shower, while there is also a separate shower room with a walk-in rainfall shower.

The cottage is complemented by well-maintained front gardens, with a south-facing gravel terrace and paved patio providing space for al fresco dining, alongside well-stocked beds and two separate areas of lawn. The grounds also include a peaceful summer house for relaxation, as well as additional gravel terracing to the side with raised beds planted with shrubs and flowering perennials. Vehicle access is via Lunn Lane, where there is a driveway and a detached single garage.
